Our title page is like a Japanese New Year postcard,
featuring a たつtatsu.
あけましておめでとうございます!
Akemashite omedetō gozaimasu !
Best wishes for the New Year!

We made daruma.

We make a wish and colour in one eye.

When we make our wish come true, we will colour the other eye.

Daruma remind us of our College heart value, 'perseverance'.


On February 3 we celebrated 節分Setsubun.
We had fun chasing away a Bad Luck dude
called おにoni.
(He looked a lot like sensei with a mask on…!)
We threw rice and shouted:
おにはそと、ふくはうち!
Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi!
Bad luck go away, good luck come and stay!

Then we ateまめ[mame] – roasted soya beans.
We ate as many as our age for good luck.
Japanese for our tastebuds is fun!
